In the woods of Whisper,
Georgia, two bodies are found: one recently dead, the other decayed from a
decade of exposure to the elements. The sheriff is going to need help to track
down an experienced predator—one who abducts girls and holds them for months
before ending their lives. Enter former FBI profiler and private investigator
Keye Street.

He lives for the struggle …

After a few weeks, Keye is
finally used to sharing her downtown Atlanta loft with her boyfriend, A.P.D.
Lieutenant Aaron Rauser. Along with their pets (his dog, her cat) they seem
almost like a family. But when Rauser plunks a few ice cubes in a tumbler and
pours a whiskey, Keye tenses. Her addiction recovery is tenuous at best.

And loves the fear.

Though reluctant to head out
into the country, Keye agrees to assist Sheriff Ken Meltzer. Once in Whisper,
where the locals have no love for outsiders, Keye starts to piece together a
psychological profile: the killer is someone who stalks and plans and waits.
But why does the sociopath hold the victims for so long, and what horrible
things must they endure? When a third girl goes missing, Keye races against
time to connect the scant bits of evidence. All the while, she cannot shake the
chilling feeling that something dark and disturbing lives in these woods—and it
is watching her every move.

RT Book Reviews (4 stars)

“Keye Street has made a name for herself in
catching serial killers even after getting fired as an FBI behavioral
analyst for being a drunk…The third entry in this compelling series
features an increasingly suspenseful plot with some delicious final
twists. But this is most notable as character-driven crime fiction with a
flawed, damaged, Krispy Kreme–loving protagonist who continues to fight
her own demons as she tracks a psychopath who blends into the
background. A superlative series.”
